The standing stone seems to have disappeared. I have cycled past this for years. It went a few months ago. I can see it on maps from the late 1800s, and there are plenty of photos on the internet. But now gone. I have emailed the council to see if they can shed any light on its disapperance.

That's not good. It was still there in September 2019 when we were doing the coast path - I didn't approach (tired legs and worsening weather!) but could see it from the road. It would be very bad if it's been removed. It was a bit lean-y - could it have fallen over?
